A lot of photographers finish a beautiful edit and then send the gallery like a receipt: "Hi, pictures are ready. Link below." It works, but it leaves emotion on the table.
Use the handover as a final touch
The message does not need to be dramatic. One warm line about the shoot, one clear instruction, and one next step is enough.
A simple template
"Hi Amina, your wedding photos are ready. I loved how much joy came through in this set. Open the link below to view everything, tap the heart on your favourites, and download whenever you are ready."
Say what they should do first
If the client should review, say review. If they should favourite, say favourite. If they should download, say download. People like clear doors.
End cleanly
Close with confidence: "Enjoy them." "I hope these bring the day back." "Let me know when your favourites are ready." Small, human, done.
